Great game:
This is a fun game. Its a little long if you play the career mode though.
mlb power pros:
i did buy the older version by mistake and that may be the reason i didn't like the game as much. the teams were a year behind, makes it kinda confusing.....this is a great kids game. some friends brought their kids over the other day while they visited and the kids had an absolute blast with it.....it helped that they were all boys, who liked baseball, but they loved it none-the-less.....a simplified version of baseball with cartoonish characters that incredibly resembled their namesakes! it is a cute game... more info
Best baseball game on the market:
If you like baseball, you will love this game! Very detailed. Although it is animated and appears to be just a "kids" game, everything from the players abilities to the dimensions of the different stadiums, it is extremely accurate. You will have fun with this game. It's very addictive! :)
Could do much better for the Wii:
This game could have been made much better by integrating the Wii controls into a league/season format. I'm not sure what's the hold up on getting season play with Wii controls. With that said this game is worth the $10-$20 you can buy it for. It's a fun baseball game with many different modes. You can use Wii motion controls to play in one mode, but I would have liked to see them integrate the Wii motion controls into the game more. I hope the next edition does that.
